Sue Cain (Songs / Uke / Percussion)

Folk singer (solo; The AnyWhens) and percussionist, complementing stories with songs, and co-creator of spoken and sung variants of ballads and traditional tales (2026-).

Sue’s love of folk singing began when she started Morris dancing in the late 90s, moved to Sheffield and went on to front Sheffield based folk-rock band, Silverwheel, before becoming part of acappella harmony group The Fates. She was often found hosting pub music sessions and co-hosting song walks around Sheffield’s industrial areas where any excuse was found to share stories & songs of radical history, industrial heritage, entertaining criminality, beer and fish. Since returning to the Isle of Wight in 2022, Sue joined forces with Glenn Koppany in The Anywhens, adding harmonies, ukelele and percussion; she co-hosts the Pride folk club & sings sea songs & Shanties whenever possible. Sue still finds time to head up North, often for song walks and singing sessions dedicated to protest, industry & entertaining characters of the past.
